The other day when I dropped into Judges 19 which began with “And it came to pass that in those days when there was no king in Israel …” That phrase immediately strikes me because I instantly think of The King and my spirit goes directly to seeing it as symbolic of their being no [...]

Fighting Fragmentation
Believers, have you felt in recent seasons that there’s been an unprecedented level of wrestling against disjointedness, fragmentation and disharmony among your mind, your soul and spirit? That it has required a different kind of effort for your Christ mind to align with your flesh and with your spirit man? If so, by now you’ve [...]
Thankful for Me???
Well this is the season of New Things …. sooo … this was definitely new. I found myself praying a prayer this morning that I’d never prayed before. After spending time with Abba … you know - basking in His beauty, His glory and majesty and His holiness (His ways are sooo not our ways). [...]
1-2-3 – Follow Me
Have you ever felt like it’s taking five times as long to advance through one of The Gospels as it should – especially when it’s a re-read? Well that’s what it’s like for me reading through The Book of Luke, again. New revelations simply have me so transfixed! For example here’s something that jumped out [...]
How to be Alien Light Bearers in Enemy Territory
The following by no means intended to be an exhaustive or novel list, just a few essential principles those of us who’ve been chosen by Christ and who have chosen Him in return need to be constantly aware of: 1) Our substance.

Life in the Blood

Leviticus 17:14 And the life of men is in the blood of The Lamb … Recent and ongoing reports of violence, murder, mayhem and destruction sparked a family commentary on violence against the innocent, the under-represented, and the misrepresented … to which I’d venture to add [...]
Rewind
How amazing is God's voice. Here is what The Holy Spirit deposited into my spirit nearly exactly three years ago today (Jan 09, 2019. Writing this on Jan. 10). It's no accident that I "happened upon it" today. It was indeed His preparation then for time to come ... for a season yet upon us. [...]
If Today …
Isn't it interesting that mostly throughout Scripture we are admonished to subdue the flesh - to put aside fleshly desires, flee the lusts of the flesh. Yet their is one place in us where Our Lord actually desires a constitution of flesh - - our hearts. The very heart that as Jeremiah laments, "The heart [...]
First Do No Harm
The Basic Tenet of Love Seems the club song got it right. At least as far as the appeal to the most fundamental aspect of Love is concerned; first, do no harm. Perhaps you know the chorus … “What is love. Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me – no more.” Have you ever been [...]
Avoiding the Folly of Fools
The Lord is no respecter of persons and definitely not a fan of fools. He dedicated an entire book to help us rid ourselves of what He establishes as foolish ways. Primarily I think because they lead to hurt, harm and danger - ultimately separating us from one another and from Him. Stranger DangerThe Fool [...]
